log_jammin:lumiere: I'm curious to know what makes people think the vagina is feared and repulsed in Islam.

because they are full of sand. duh.

This.And they have a tradition of marrying very young, so they can housebreak it early. They see the wild vaginae of North America rampaging the land like the mighty buffalo, proud, strong and unbroken, and it strikes terror into their hearts. They prefer domesticated, docile vaginae. That something about sewing it up, I think that was muslims, or maybe the Japanese, I get them all mixed up. It was some foreign guys who sound like they're mumbling and swearing furiously at the same time.

HindiDiscoMonster:If you want to use the OT then by all means, point out the burn the witch passage.

Exodus 22:18 ring a bell? (Or book, or candle?)

GilRuiz1:If it was such a religion-free effort, why did the leading atheist of the day feel the need to sue NASA to keep religion away from the moon missions, then?

You know, you've made some pretty disingenuous arguments before, but this might be the topper.

One famously-butthurt person files a suit and that defines an enterprise as religious in nature? Seriously?

A suit which was repeatedly rejected, despite numerous appeals? Via a Memorandum Opinion, the equivalent of SCOTUS saying "Stop bothering us"? A suit which has never been cited as controlling in any subsequent case? This is what your'e citing in support of your nebulous point?

Agent Smiths Laugh:NostroZ: vactech: I'm sorry. No, you're right, God is a verb... it is all around us.

But might I add that it's also an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us; it binds the galaxy together.

I accept your apology.

/God is what binds the galaxy together//God is present in all things///God is not the narrow definition of the King James Bible

God is what you think he is. But then, aren't they always? Ask any two believers of any theistic religion, and you will get differing accounts of who/what god is. Even in the most fundamental of religious sects no two people have the exact same concept of god. There are those who would vehemently disagree with your statement "God is not the narrow definition of the King James Bible" (which you have also quoted a few times, which is ironic). So what is god really but a mental construct created on an individual basis? Do we have any practical need for that construct? What can't we accomplish without inventing personal definitions of god?

Are you asking if God controls your actions? Partially, but he also obeys your commands.

IlGreven:propasaurus: That's fascinating. Do tell me how much you Christians love Islam.

It usually goes like this:

Atheist says something critical against Christianity.Christians say "Well, you don't have the guts to say those things against the ebil Muslims."Atheist then says something critical against Islam.Christians say "ZOMG ISLAMOPHOBE!"

Newp. You haven't read Jack Chick comics have you? Yes some sects of Christianity DO have additional conditions for salvation, but the bible (and Jesus' dialogue therein) were pretty farking specific that the only thing required was belief in him.

Illustrated also by the thief next to him, who was getting in...not cause he was sorry or wasn't a bastard, but because he recognized Jesus as 'the son of god'.

PC LOAD LETTER:bunner: PC LOAD LETTER: bunner: Religion and atheism have a lot in common. They both like to blowhard false dichotomies between two approaches to life that have, so far, gotten us here. Carry on. Fresh poo and incredulous smirks at the popcorn stand.

Oh, DO tell us your well-honed philosophy of life, so that we can be in awe of it's splendor.

"Don't be a dick." No charge.

So, you are an atheist then?

I firmly believe in making damn sure I have some sort of patch on my sleeve that will appease whoever is asking.

Personally, I think there's a whole lot of babying the Muslim world. Their brand of "kill the cartoonist while bicycling" terror is just as effective at achieving their goals extrajudicially as killing abortion doctors does for Christ-tards. Only doctors with special balls will do abortions now, and I STILL HAVEN'T FARKING SEEN THAT SOUTH PARK EPISODE GODDAMMIT.

This is ridiculous. Islam only wanted Jerusalem in the first place because the Jews wanted it. Mohammed only went there in a freaking dream written about in a book written down by folks who knew him after he died. I'm calling bullshiat on that.

Also, dead people don't come back to life or turn into crackers, and dicks and knives are NEVER to meet save in a life-threatening emergency. Also, Big Macs taste awesome. In short, fark you all.

Divinegrace:Every time I meet someone and think "Wow, this person is spiteful, hateful, and/or self-centered asshat", I ask them about their faith...every time I have asked I find they are either agnostic or atheist.

I will say this about agnostics and atheists...you folks are consistent.

Have you considered the possibility that you're the only asshole involved here? You know - Occam's Razor and all that.

SpikeStrip:staplermofo: For the love of the absence of a higher power, would you farkmothers trim your farkingmother quotes down?

what's that? another colloquialism for vagina?

I like long quotes and I cannot lieYou other farkers can't denyThat when a troll walks inwith an itty-bitty brain and a long quote in your faceyou get sprung, wanna pull out your tough'Cause you notice that post was stuffed

FTA: " Like a lot of atheists, I read a bunch of books about atheism and the shortcomings of religion and smirked at the inconsistencies contained in the Bible and Christianity's other texts." [The books arguing against Christianity were] "stuff written by men-almost always men, almost always white men, not that that matters."

Wait, whatnow? Maybe that's because you're white. If you were an atheist born in Cairo or Calcutta or Peking your statement would probably not hold true.

Also: A person that thinks religions are goofy being outraged that someone else who thinks religions that are especially repressive and violent are especially goofy is FARKING STUPID.

Why is it that atheists often sound like pretentious douchebags? Is that just their cross to bear?

The thing about phobias is that they have to be irrational fears. Like, if you're afraid of venomous spiders because your limited exposure to spiders prevents you from telling them apart, it's not a phobia. It's an appropriate fear a rational person would have. In the same way, if you're afraid of radical muslim terrorists blowing up your face and your limited exposure to muslims prevents you from telling them from harmless muslims, it's also not a phobia. The onus on the spiders to get us to understand why we shouldn't kill them, like the misunderstood spider meme. Sadly, the guy who posed for the ordinary muslim meme blew himself up at a checkpoint outside Jerusalem.

I'm an atheist, and I don't really have a problem with Islam. Overall, I think it's a really neat thing, but not for me. I do have a problem with anyone claiming I should live my life a certain way due to their religious beliefs. Or, rather, it would be more accurate to say that if someone takes steps to try and force me to follow their religious beliefs, then I have a problem.

Infernalist:doglover: What's the fancy word for people who like cilantro?

Douchebag?

Please, explain, how liking the taste of an herb makes someone a douchebag? I could say the same about people classifying others based upon their enjoyment of a single plant.
